Streetart Frankey in the centre of Amsterdam
Reported gone
Oscar the Grouch, the green grump who lives in a trash can on Sesame Street, turned up in the Jordaan in 2026. Since 1969 Oscar has been the show's lovable pessimist, and his bin makes him a natural match for Frankey's habit of using street furniture as a stage.
Oscar The Grouch is a Streetart Frankey artwork on Lindenstraat, in the centre of Amsterdam. It appeared in 2026.
It is one of 184 Streetart Frankey works on our map in Centrum. 19 other works are still in place within about ten minutes on foot, so this one is easy to combine with a short Frankey walk.
Visitors or our own team have reported that this work is no longer there. Street art is temporary by nature, and Frankey's small sculptures are sometimes removed or taken. We keep the spot on the map so you can see where it was, and the works listed below are still in place nearby.
Het Parool wrote about this work in its Streetart Frankey column: read the article (in Dutch).
Our guides know where Frankey's pieces hide. Ask us for a private street art walking tour and we will build the route around the art, Frankey's work very much included.
